Men employed IN the mines operated by J.

Saturday the company began forcible ejec-
ton from their houses.

pany.
On Saturday a sheriff, backed by a gang
of Pinkerton men, appeard in the village and
began to evict Six families With ali their
effects we're thrown into the street. Women
and children we're driven out and the doors
locked behind them. The company had given
notice that any tenant afiording shelter to the
evicted or their goods would be himself
driven out, and not n soul in the village dare
take in any family.
One woman was i'll in bed when the officers
entered her house. but she had to 90 and her
bed was put outside after her 1t WAS with
difficulty that she obtained permission to stay
over nigh; with neighbor. Women and
children were forced te sleep on the bare
ground without food or shelter. Their goods
are lying just where thev were thrown out,
the company refusing to allow wagons on
their land to remove them.
The strike and the consequent evictions is
the result of the efforts of the company to
break up the local district of the Knights of
Labor. The company has a large store in
the village and the employees are forced to
deal with it.
The local district of the knights Of Labor
began legal proceedings yesterday against the
company to test the legality of IT'S proceed
ings, but despite this action and the indiena-
ton which has been aroused, the company is
preparing for further evictions and the men
are helpless.
